Kashi Pasta Pesto on sale!!

Hey, now this makes for a good day...was at Publix, and noticed that the Kashi frozen dinners (which I love and eat every day at school) are 50% off...my poor DH started rolling his eyes, cause he knew what I would do...I got every Pasta Pesto in the store...31 of them...worked out to only $1.90 each (ended up saving $58!!)...there is absolutely NO WAY that I could make that stuff for that cheap...yea!!

We had a bet when we got back to the house whether I could even fit them into the freezer...had to take all of them out of the boxes, but I was able to fit everything in - with room to spare...gonna go to another Publix and get more tomorrow...LOL...

I have 90 days of school left, so if I can get 60 more, then that would work out perfectly!!

Lunch

I'm a teacher, so normally, I dont have time to make a complicated lunch...also, when I'm home, I refuse to make something for lunch that takes more than 5 minutes...

I found these for school, and have eaten this every day of school for the past 3 years:

Kashi Pesto Pasta Primavera. Of course, the best thing is that it tastes great, and cooks in the microwave quickly. But, it also is one of the least expensive options - $3.69 each. And, Publix has it on sale for 2 for 1 about twice a year (the last two times they have done this, I've gotten about 50 of them each time, and saved hundreds of dollars!)...

Calories are also not too bad:
Total: 290 Cal (11 g Fat, 37 Carbohydrates - 4gSugar, 11 g Protein)

If it is the weekend, DH and I usually go out to eat, two good options are:
1. Minestrone Soup from The Olive Garden (just try not to overdo it on the breadsticks)
2. Bagel sandwich at the local bagel shop (a bit of a splurge on the carbohydrates, but still good, includes: bagel, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sprouts, onions, provolone cheese)

If home, I can do:
1. Vegetarian Sushi from Fresh Market
2. Avocado, Spinach, tomato sandwich (on toasted bread - though again, I need to find a bread that doesn't have any soy in it)
3. Kashi Roasted Vegetable Pizza: http://www.kashi.com/products/kashi_thin_crust_pizzas_roasted_vegetable
